Audience Reviews for Bad Company

Jul 15, 2017

A full on Hollywood production that's nigh seamless in execution but with one flaw, and its how its central draw, Chris Rock, is handled. Playing Rock as a clown full time sinks the feature, very nearly an update of the old Bob Hope ("My Favorite Brunette") comedies though times have changed and Rock is not Hope. Anthony Hopkins does well playing more of an everyday working man, holding up his end of the equation with aplomb. Rock, though, deserves another chance to headline.

I know I have seen this movie a number of times just can't believe I haven't reviewed it. This is a enjoyable action movie with of course the great comedy in it. Hopkins and Chris Rock were excellent together. Without a doubt a sequel or two could have been made. Great chase scenes. Why did they ever stop making movies like this. Chris Rock and the Effie Murphy crime comedies were over the top and they just disappeared. This one is worth 4 stars on the first day of Spring 3-20-13

I've seen worse movies (IE: The-Fucking-International) but this movie is still no good. It's pretty average for the most part until the HORRID last act of the film, that falls into every action movie trap ever. But hey, at least the main character is given a reason to do what he's doing much unlike The International (what a terrible movie). With that said, I think Chris Rock is a pretty funny guy when he's doing stand-up. But when you take him out of that element and into movies, he's just downright AWFUL. Every live action film he's ever starred in have all been pretty critically panned (Good Hair doesn't count as that is a documentary), with the exception of Nurse Betty in which he was really a supporting character and came out TEN YEARS AGO!!! This guy has probably one of the worst track records among film stars, ever. It doesn't help that his voice is so annoying and whenever he screams, in this movie, all you want to do is punch him in the goddamn mouth so he'd shut the fuck up. Plus, he's just not good at 'drama', which he has to do, little amounts of it, but he has to do it nonetheless and he's also no good at that either. This movie should have definitely been worse than it actually was due to Chris Rock's annoyance level, but it isn't. I guess Anthony Hopkins sort of picks up the slack for him and that's why it's not as bad, but it's not like Anthony puts on a one-man show performance cause this film is still pretty bad, the plot is lame, the action scenes are pretty crappy but I was bored and I had nothing to do so I watched this movie, I didn't hate it at all, but in a week I will completely forget this movie and I'm completely fine with that. It's still better than The International though, so this movie accomplished something.

Comical for all the wrong reasons, over the top and stupid form the very first frame, I laughed and laughed at the terrible cliches -before moping that I wasted four minutes of my life on this turkey, which is how long it took to positively establish itself as unrealistic, absurd and over-acted. Sir Hopkins, <I><WHAT HAPPENED</I>. Are cocaine and teenage girls <I>really</I> that expensive?????
